Abstract

An image coding apparatus for compression encoding in which motion compensation prediction is performed in each unit area for coding produced by dividing each frame of a moving picture signal (100), by referring to a reference image (109, 110) stored in a frame memory (9, 10), comprising
frame memory storage control means (35, 37) for making a determination as to whether an image (108, 134, 135), used as the reference image (109, 110) for motion compensation prediction (21) based on a prediction mode (126) for the moving picture signal (100), is to be updated sequentially or retained the frame memory (9, 10), and for controlling the frame memory (9, 10) such that, if it is determined that the image (108, 134, 135) is to be updated sequentially, the image (108, 134, 135) is replaced by the succeeding image (108, 134, 135) when the succeeding image (108, 134, 135) is input, and, if it is determined that the image (108, 134, 135) is to be retained in the frame memory (9, 10), the image (108, 134, 135) is maintained in the frame memory (9, 10) until a predetermined control signal is input; and
motion compensation prediction means (21) for performing motion compensation in each unit area for coding by referring, based on the prediction mode (126) for the moving picture signal (100), to the reference image (109, 110) stored in the frame memory (9, 10) under the control of said frame memory storage control means (35, 37), so as to generate, for each unit area for coding, a prediction image (115) and a motion vector (123) providing a comparatively high prediction efficiency.
